What changed in Season 29

Summarised from EA's patch notes. Each legend, weapon and map below has its changes on its own page.

• Season 29 added Axle, a Skirmisher Legend with Drift, Nitro Gate and Kickstart.
• The C.A.R. returned to the floor and the L-STAR moved into the Care Package with the new Redline hop-up.
• Light ammo stacks reduced to 60 (was 72).
• Tridents were removed from Storm Point and Olympus, and most rotation Ziprails were removed from Broken Moon.
• Midseason update: Ballistic and Pathfinder were reworked, Seer was buffed, and Axle, Mad Maggie, Conduit and Valkyrie were toned down.
• New Executioner hop-up for the Peacekeeper and Mastiff, replacing Disruptor Rounds and Dual Shell. The Graffiti Mod moved from the Longbow, Wingman and Mozambique to the Flatline and Volt, and the Nemesis gained the Turbocharger.

How Apex seasons work

Seasons run about three months each. Every one brings a balance pass, a new Battle Pass and usually a new legend, sometimes a new weapon, and either a new map or a substantial update to an existing one. Ranked resets alongside the season, which is why the Apex Predator cut collapses back to the Master floor for the first few days.

Season 29 is one of 31 so far — see every season and its dates, or every patch note since launch.
